Bollywood superstar Salman Khan left audiences in fits of laughter with his rendition of the viral hit “Manike Mage Hithe” as he sang along with Sri Lankan singer Yohani Diloka de Silva, who became an Internet sensation after the release of the track.
The 28-year-old singer appeared as a guest on a weekend episode of the popular reality show "Bigg Boss 15". Salman, the show's host, joined Yohani in singing the song upon her request.
The official handle of Colors TV's Instagram page shared a promo video from Saturday's episode, where the actor is seen struggling with the pronunciation of a few words in the song composed in Sinhala language, after which both Salman and Yohani burst out into laughter.
This will be Yohani's first appearance on an Indian TV channel.
Before meeting Salman, Yohani also had a wonderful moment with Bollywood actress and fellow Sri Lankan Jacqueline Fernandez. She shared a picture from their meeting on Instagram with the caption, "Starstruck".
The Sri Lankan singer turned into an overnight internet sensation after her song "Manike Mage Hithe" was published on her own YouTube channel on May 22. More than 140 million people viewed the track in four months, a record for a Sinhala language song.
Recently, Yohani expanded her talent by entering the Indian music industry.
Already having grabbed the attention of Indian listeners with "Manike Mage Hithe", Yohani has released her soulful rendition of the female version of the title track of the Bollywood movie, "Siddat".
